You judge:
Have you got a friend or relative who thinks maybe the Million
Misguided Moms had some valid points to make ... or maybe they
had their "hearts in the right place"?
Here is a quote directly from Mary Leigh Blek, representative of the Millon Mom March organization, when she spoke last week at the United Nations
"Conference on the Illicit Trade in Small Arms and Light Weapons
in All its Aspects."
Ms. Blek said:
"The gun lobby has been talking for 40 minutes. During
that time, 40 people have died from the use of small arms
and light weapons in this country. That figure, not the
statement of those representatives, is further proof that
this country is at war."
Do the math: 1 person per minute x 60 minutes per hour x 24
hours per day x 365 days = 525,600 people per year.
Fact is, misuse of firearms in homicide, suicide and accidents,
accounted for a total of 35,673 deaths in 1997. Less half of
these deaths were homicides. Source: National Safety Council,
Injury Facts: 2000 Edition, at 10, 117.
(http://www.gunowners.org/fs0101.htm)
The MMM representative, Ms. Blek, attempted to mislead the
world conference by overstating the count of homicides by
*2600* percent. Even counting the accidents and suicides in
her favor, Ms. Blek exaggerated by *1400* percent.
This error was not a minor goof or a decimal point shift problem.
Such an outright misstatement of facts (made in writing, when the
undisputed truth is known) must be a deliberate lie. The MMM
counts on newsmedia and other uninformed people to accept the
quoted statistics without checking -- most people naturally
assume that "nobody would lie publicly about something so easy
to verify."
Use this fact with those folks who have been believing the MMM
to be "a group of women just trying to protect their children
from harm." We can't speak for all the members, but the
leadership is willing to lie grossly to a high-profile world
conference to further their anti-self defense agenda. Now
you have hard proof ... in their own words.

don't you know? facts are irrelevant when children's lives are at stake.
irrationality in defense of ignorance is no vice?

Italy, for 30 years under the Borgias, had warfare, terror and murder- but they produced Michelangelo, Da Vinci, the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, 500 years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock. H Lime

I'll tell you about the children.... we have them in jail. For murder, assault, and armed robbery, 16, 17 year olds and they are pround of it, they think they are bad!
The definition of youthful offender is under 26.

That you point out problems with her "facts" just shows that you obviously don't care about children.
Why else would you attack her?

...know your enemy.
Don't watch Fox News, watch CNN, MSNBC and the networks.
Why listen to people who tell you what you already know? Sure, it's somehow satisfying, but what good does it do you?
Listen to your enemies.
